Mixed Signal/Analog
Bringing analogue signals into the digital world
Reading analogue signals from the real world and then turning them into digital signals that a microcontroller (MCU) can understand is one of the most difficult tasks you will face when developing MCU-based sensor applications.
Watch this Livestream to learn about some different techniques that you can use with Microchip's 8-bit PIC and AVR MCUs to significantly improve their accuracy and speed when reading analogue signals.
Key takeaways:
- Get a basic understanding of the types peripherals that you can use with 8-bit MCUs to read analogue signals, including Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC), Comparator (CMP) and Zero-Crossing Detector (ZCD)
- Learn about why ADCs are suitable for hardware filtering applications
- Find out why comparators are great for applications where speed is key
